Steps
1. Choose one of the following options:
Option Description
The new drive tray is the only
drive tray in a storage array
with an E2700 controller-
drive tray. Attach a cable between one of the SAS expansion ports on controller A
of the controller-drive tray and a SAS IN port on ISM/ESM A of the new
drive shelf (or drive tray).
The new drive tray is the only
drive tray in a storage array
with an E5600 controller-
drive tray or an EF560 flash
array. Attach a cable between the SAS expansion port labeled Ch 1 on
controller A of the controller-drive tray and a SAS IN port on IOM/ESM
A of the new drive shelf (or drive tray) and then attach a cable between
the SAS expansion port labeled Ch 1 on controller B of the controller-
drive tray and the other SAS IN port on IOM/ESM A.
2. Navigate to the AMW Hardware tab, scroll down to view the new drive tray, and select View
Tray Components. If the new drive tray is not displayed in the drive tray tab, resolve the
connection issue.
Note: The AMW Recovery Guru displays a loss of redundancy error. At this point in the
procedure, you have only one active path to the controller-drive tray.
3. After the new drive tray is connected, monitor the AMW throughout the rest of this procedure to
make sure that the new drive tray does not overheat.
Note:
With the bezel removed and the disk bays empty, the chassis does not achieve efficient
air flow. As a result, the installation process must proceed to completion without significant
delays.
4. From the Component Information window, expand Overall Component Information, select
ESM Canisters, and verify the following:
• Both ESM A and ESM B are listed.
• Current data ratefor ESM A is 12Gb/s (for E2800 controllers with DE212C or DE224C drive
shelves) or 6Gb/s.
• Card communications is OK.
5. Choose one of the following options:
